The Radiation Advisory Council was established under section 29 of the Radiation Control Act, 1990 (Act No. 13, 1990). The Council assisted in achieving the objects of securing secure the protection of persons and the environment from exposure to ionising radiation to the maximum extent that is reasonably practicable. From 4 April 2011 when the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water was abolished the Radiation Advisory Council became a branch of the Principal Department, the Department of Premier and Cabinet. At 2024 the Radiation Advisory Council consisted of a minimum of 12 members appointed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Environment Protection Authority. The council's functions included advising the EPA on: the administration of the Act and Regulation; licensing and accreditations under the Act; measures to prevent or minimise the dangers arising from radiation; and other functions as are conferred or imposed on it by or under the Act. The Environment Protection Authority provided administrative support to the council. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
